Hi Guillem, Thanks for working on this bug. As far as I can tell, you reported that you had fixes for this bug back in Feburary. I had a look today at the public dpkg git repository and I cannot see any of the commits you mentioned; is there something that has been holding up these changes in the past 8 months? ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
